Agree with McDeadagain....filing a BBB report that quickly is unfair to them in my opinion...

I ordered mine at around 2:45 pm and no shipping yet (same as everyone else who ordered after 11:45am or so), but I'll give them a chance. Based on past reviews, I ordered this expecting it would take them the full 6 business days to ship, any early shipments are just a bonus. This isn't Amazon, just relax and hopefully they'll keep up their end of the deal, receiving it a few days later than others doesn't matter in the long run...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsntrenkler:
I agree, and that isn't my beef ... As far as unfair to them? What about us the customer? ... They should respond to emails and be willing to answer questions, that's my problem. A simple Jason thanks for your order, due to <insert excuse here> your item will ship no later than 01/13/2012 would have been fine, not a big deal. LOL, they haven't even attempted to call me after I have left my phone number three times. Yet they have called others to confirm shipping information. There is a fine line between getting a great deal and receiving good customer service. I got the great deal and am delighted, however am frustrated at their lack of response.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
You are not counting the same way as the rest of the world, I'm afraid. 6 business days from 1/4 is 1/12. The day after you place the order is the first business day. If you ordered after 5pm on the 4th they may consider that order placed on 1/5 and 6 biz days is the 13th.

They actually tell you on the website that they may not answer your emails - so how could you get upset that they didn't? It's like marrying a girl who says she may cheat on you and then getting pissed when she does.

Seems like you might be more comfortable skipping the bargain bin and use amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1Speed:
This is exactly the reason i went ahead and spent the extra 100% on amazon..... NO HASSLE!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buttafinguz:
UPS just delivered mine!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vikramdhani:
I am glad you got yours, I am waiting for mine still
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsntrenkler:
Lucky ;-) Enjoy it.

Indeed, lesson learned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grydrgn:
Delivered

Mine is here and appears to be as advertised. US charger in it. I'm happy with the Daily steals experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Guess I shouldn't have waited until the last hour to order. =(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsntrenkler:
LOL, same boat here ... I am sure that it will be worth the wait in the end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buttafinguz:
Definately. Just waiting for my Rearth Ringke Case to get here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derrelicte:
Mine was supposed to be delivered today but no one was home to sign for it. When I checked out there was no way to separate the shipping from the billing address. I tried contacting Daily Steals to try to get the shipping address changed to my work address, but I guess they never did. What a bummer -- my GNex is most likely going to be sent back to Daily Steals and we'll have to dance the ****ty change-shipping-address waltz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quick_:
Lol what are you talking about... UPS tries at least 3 times as far as i know to deliver it, before sending it back.

What you need is the "infonotice" paper or whatever its called (might not even be needed) call UPS and ask them to change the delivery address to your work... done.

As long as the initial delivery attempt has been made, you can then change the delivery address, I've done this before.

Good luck,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
I think we have something in common - I tend to assume the worst will happen - and honestly it's a waste of time.

You'll get the phone, and it will be fine, and you'll love it. Don't stress and next time use a more full-service vendor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derrelicte:
Oh, is that new? I haven't shipped to my home address in years, but I remember the last time it happened the only option was to wait until the package failed 3 times and was sent back to the shipper, where they could re-ship it out to the changed address.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
you can leave a note and usually they will follow to the adress you tell them, and if that dosen't work call your local UPS office and get the adress changed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sizzip:
I've got an update for those who are interested...The UPS label has just been created, so looks like it's shipping out tonight. My order was placed at 2:45PM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onkolog:
Picked up mine 20 minutes ago. It comes in the small brown carton box even without bubbles inside. So, as some people told before the back plastic cover with dust, but front cover never been removed. About seals on the box, it doesn't have even signs that before it was sealed. Made in China. Android version 4.0.1

Any question, please ask...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vikramdhani:
2:45pm on 4th or 5th ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sizzip:
The deal was from midnight on 4th to midnight on 5th, so on the afternoon of the 4th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vikramdhani:
What time and date did you ordered your phone ?

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

So looks like i might need to wait since i placed my order on 4.55 pm EST on the 4th huh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onkolog:
1/4 around 9.20 AM EST
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vikramdhani:
Damn i am way far away right now :( but now with you guys getting the delivery i am very hopeful
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fumanstan:
Mine was placed at 2:49 and nothing yet :( Sadness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liselotte:
I didn't get a email notice yet but I tried the UPS reference trick and I got a label printed. Delivery date is tomorrow :) :) :) :)

I ordered at 2:54PM EST btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
Did you have to sign for it?

I am afraid nobody will be at home when it arrives. I can't believe they didn't have shipping address option on the site.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
What did you use as your reference? I ordered at 1:33PM and I don't have anything yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onkolog:
Yes,but I wasn't home)))I called UPS and sighed up for pick up...UPS office 5 minutes from my home:-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SUPARSTARX:
I found my label. It was shipped/billed today. But since I'm also in Brooklyn, I might as well drive over and get it lol

But anyways, it shouldn't take long for UPS ground to deliver it to me. Their facility isn't that far either, heh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quick_:
I don't know if there anything better than this statement lol!

This never happens to me with UPS, usually they are late, and my box is ripped and crushed to hell.... I'm hoping I get to skip the latter this time too!

Mine was part of the first shipment (10am) and its going to Houston, TX (might be some others that are getting it a day early in Houston too??)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleach168:
Order placed 1/4/2012 9:03:37 AM.

Delivery is set to be Friday, 01/13/2012, to Southern Cali.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liselotte:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
FINALLY- I at least have a shipping label from UPS!

Ordered mine on Jan 4, 2012 at 10:35 AM (12:35 PM EST).

UPS updated: 01/11/2012 9:09 P.M. Eastern Time

"A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

Label Created On:

01/11/2012

Shipped/Billed On:01/11/2012

Type:Package

Weight:1.00 lb

And that's all I know so far - which isn't much, but it's better than what I knew a few hours ago, which was nothing! lol Fingers crossed (legs too if need be) that it gets here by Friday! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
I've seen people complain about the dirty plastic. I don't know if any of you had a nexus s but this is normal. I bought on release day last December and had a screen defect. Well let's just say I was anal and wanted the perfect screen so I went through 7 replacements. All but one had white powder or dust on that plastic cover part. I thought it was bad the first time but realized it was normal after the 5th phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsntrenkler:
I just got the same email ... I think I am going to cancel, these guys suck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
The slightly used galaxy nexus on ebay are still more expensive then this 565 price. I'll wait but not very happy. Plus people are saying that the phone comes as stated brand new and working well...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
I've been unable to get around this problem for the last few weeks now.

No matter what ROM my Milestone is on (It's the latest CM7 right now), it's been having problems keeping the mobile (2G/3G) data connection on, it seems lose connection every time the phone goes into standby.

At first I thought I was just losing connection to gtalk but I've caught the phone a few times coming out of standby with the data icon missing and then showing up a second later.

Other basic details;

I always flash the Singapore baseband from OR (which AFAIK is the same for Malaysia)

No battery saving apps

No Toggle2G use

WIFI has no data connectivity issues

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out this problem as it's a real killer to not get txts (gmail/whatsapp/etc), emails etc on-time :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Going to try to leave wifi off for a day instead of a few hours for a better battery status screenshot but you can see what's happening in this one

In the period without wifi, and the period with actually, you can see I keep losing 3G/sync. This happens whether I'm moving or in the same location. Hell, it happens even at home.

Anyone think that flashing all the way back to stock froyo etc might help?

Are there any log files I should be looking at or posting for someone to help me with to figure out wtf?

I should also mention that this screenshot is from a FRESH flash of the latest CM7 from kabaldan, so I've ruled out (many many many times) that it's just a bad flash, or a bad rom (it does this on HO!NO!, FroyoMOD, milaq's cm6 and kabaldan's cm7 and probably others as well but those are the ones I've tried)

At this rate I'll get a new phone just for my sanity :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gosunta:
I have the exact same problem with froyomod! help please!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
update

I've flashed back to stock then to GOT 2.2.1 then to CM7 and it seems to have improved things by a lot on the first day. You can still see it happening however.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Looks like going to Stock -> GOT 2.2.1 -> CM7 has fixed my issue. More time needed but looks good already, I'm going to put down momentary loss of connection/3G as normal network issue rather than made by the phone now.

As you can tell, the last 2 screenshots have improved tremendously since re-flashing from stock

gosunta,

get on it, just follow the sticky'd posts.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
I may have spoke too soon, it's still no good. New screenie in 6 or so hours to see if it continues.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Yep it's still doing it. It's worse when on the move and it obviously only notices its not connected/in-sync whenever I wake it up. I actually dropped the phone today and apart of me kinda hoped it would break so I could justify a new phone hahah :(.

Going to try going back a few versions of CM7 and see if that fixes it. Sick of this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
I had an idea a few hours ago of replacing the modded Talk (as included in Kabaldan's cm7 gapps or Ho!no! etc) for the stock one, so I went ahead and flashed gapps-gb-20110828-signed from the CM7 page.

Seems good so far over the last 2-3 hours, will report back in a day or two with screenshots. I hope this works. Also, if it does work I'm just going to go ahead and kill myself after all the flashing over and over of millions of roms (or so it feels hehehe)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
There is no modding done to Google apps itself in the package I upload. Modding gapps is a bad idea, you would destroy the signatures by it, they need to match.

Only the updater script and app choice is modified.

Try to add this:

service dhcpcd_rmnet0 /system/bin/dhcpcd -ABKL
class post-zygote_services
disabled
oneshot

service iprenew_rmnet0 /system/bin/dhcpcd -n
class post-zygote_services
disabled
oneshot

to /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc like it can be seen here:

https://github.com/nadlabak/android...rebuilt/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc#L539

Let me know if it helped.

Btw., do you get connection to google servers at all when you switch to 2g only?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Hahah yeah I've just realised that your gapps isn't the issue, my bad kabs :). It's still having the same problem now, lemme try your suggestion right now.

And yes, I do have connection to google servers while on 2g only.

edit in a few minutes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Excuse the late reply as I've been busy but I figured it'd give me more screenshots of testing kabaldan's suggestion but...

Also note how the brown bars tend to correlate to when the phone is awake and even happening while the phone is awake.

It's still happening but I've noticed that the phone is at least capable of getting out of 2G and into 3G with some network activity which it has always done after sometime of use, get stuck in 2G and then I'd have to manually toggle it back despite WCDMA preference and no Toggle2G or Battery Saver usage.

I've noticed that I'm less likely to be disconnected from gtalk now though, it still happens obviously. My last chrome2phone sent link I waited 2 minutes with no response until I brought it out of standby and proceeded to use dropbox (thereby, I guess, it prompting to check connection to things...).

Kind of hankering to upgrade phones at this point but with the majority of phones being retail here and the fact that even a pre-order special of the Galaxy Nexus from my telco with a 24 month contract only results in saving less than 50EUR over retail, it would seem kind of stupid to get most phones still since everything is on the cusp of changing over the ICS :-/. Also STILL no droid3 here and I guess quite a few of us Milestone users love QWERTY like me :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Same **** different day. Everyday. Going to now try updating to the newest CM7 and see if it still does it, been very busy (and disheartened by this issue as well) I only just noticed Kab's has 7.1.4 up.

I think I'm just going to start saving for a new phone :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Have you tried using Toggle 2G/3G and setting 2G when screen is off? Yes, I know, it is not the solution, but, you would not gain anything using 3G with screen off and it would avoid this crazy 2G/3G/2G loop you get... I believe it is a decent work around.

By the way, in Brazil I got the same issue, only to realize that my phone carrier/operator is the one to blame, they have sold too much lines and their 3G connection is totally unrealiable due to that... When I saw that many of my friends were having the same issue with this carrier, then I've noticed that it was not the phone causing this issue... Perhaps somehow you are having the same issue, or, perhaps, someone build anything new between you and the tower causing this unrealiable connections (or perhaps you really have an issue). Are you sure you have flashed the proper baseband for your region? I believe CM7 comes with European Baseband (900/2100) which I believe is not the best for you....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
The toggle2g suggestion might work, I'll look into it and see if it does it. However, I do think that I'm losing sync with g-chat even over 2G occasionally as well but I'll check anyway to be sure.

It seems to me that it specifically loses the data connection whenever the screen is off, as if its got a similar setting that it goes to sleep like "Wifi off when sleep". The actually annoying part is that when it does lose sync, it takes quite sometime before it gets it again (sometimes doesn't) or until I wake it. It looks like a loop but it clearly often matches against the Awake bars as well, ie the phone only noticing its not in sync (or 3g) when the phone is awaken.

Definitely don't have carrier problems, ruled that out as there's 3 others on same carrier at home without issue. Euro baseband seems to be the same thing but I always flash to Singapore anyway just to be sure.

I'll keep testing, I thought 7.1.4 CM7 update might fix this but it seems to be doing the same thing anyway :(. That reminds me that I need to try an older ROM and see if that helps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
kabaldan,

Any chance that if SU was denying radio permission that it would do this?

I've just noticed that in my SU logs radio keeps getting denied. In fact it has occurred to me that I haven't seen the Radio Allow/Deny SU screen every time I flash for some time now. I guess it gets stuck behind the setup-wizard screen and times out :-/

I'm reflashing to current CM7 right now and then if it happens again will Clear Data on SU and see if the radio permission screen comes up again and then check if its fixed my ****.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
"Radio" asking for root permissions is Toggle2G.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Thanks for clearing that up for me kabaldan <3

I think I'm just going to assume my 3G radio is defective for now and put up with it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Found this

http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/issues/detail?id=116

Uninstalled it and reflashed.

Testing now. Looks good so far in battery stats.

EDIT:

Nope, not that either. OK I give up :). It's definitely only doing it whenever it goes to Standby however. I've been running Sleep as Android lately to track my sleep cycles and it never loses sync when the screen is awake (the screen dims to minimum so that the app can track sleep, thus meaning the phone is always awake)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] neumann:
Any news on that issue? I'm having the same problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] igna.worn:
I'm having trouble with 3g and battery, my phone normally lasts for 16hs aprox with 6 hours of wifi and little / medium use, and I do not have a mobile data plan, so I never use it.

But, whenever I use 3g, my battery drops from 100% to 0% in less than 5 hours of almost "idle" and even with the screen off , it starts to heat like if I were playing Nova2 with a Walkie Talkie .

This is a battery problem or the mobile is not working properlly ?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] staroceanxc:
Got my prime yesterday, HDMI output works fine out of the box. However after I updated the firmware now there is no sound through HDMI output, I was wandering if anyone has the same problem with me?

my kernel version is 2.6.36.3

build number is 8.8.3.33

thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DJ H-Up:
No, I can't confirm that issue.

I'm as well on 8.3.3.33 now and sound is kind of working over HDMI.

BUT it's still mono when I connect with my Onkyo TX-NR509 receiver, which is quite state of the art. I'm using a very professional HDMI cable (1.4 standard), too.

Any idea, guys?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youleck:
Hi,

I try a lot sense 3.5 roms, but I think it's to slowly. I want install sense 3.0 on my DZ. Which rom is the best? Performance, battery, stable? I can run swap partition.

I'm waiting for the suggestions.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
I haven't used and sense 3.0 ROMs in awhile but I always remember virtuous unity being great. Smooth and fast and from what I can remember few problems, and this was a couple months ago so I imagine it has improved even more since.

http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/unity_23.html
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coachmoore:
Agreed, virtuous unity were the best. Try 2.37.
[Nook Color General] hmlee:
I'm hoping somebody here can help me. I'm running cm7 on my nook color off of an sd card. For the most part, it's been great. I've been having problems recently connecting to my law school's wifi network.

I can see the network I my wifi settings -- it's listed as having 802.1x EAP authentication. I pull it up and select PEAP authentication (which is what my school says it uses) and then I enter my credentials. At this point, the Nook will connect to the network and get an IP. But that's it. No internet access. If I try to use the browser or dolphin to go to a page it'll just sort of hang there without moving.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Try pinging your gateway and beyond, see if your packets are actually getting anywhere. I would think if you're getting an IP address you're okay, but who knows.

And are you sure you don't have a required proxy? There's nowhere to specify a proxy in Android, although I believe Opera it has settings for it.
[Nook Color General] socos25:
So for our work Wi-Fi you have to sign in with what you already stated, but then after that I have to open up my web browser to sign in there as well.

Not sure if you have a similar situation or not.
[Nook Color General] Hal Atosis:
I don't know about cm7 but cm9 does have a menu item to specify proxy setting in the advanced menu.
[Nook Color General] TL2000:
Depending on the type of device providing the wireless, I've also noticed that it helps to make sure your device name doesn't have a "-" in it.

It took me quite a while troubleshooting my sisters to figure that out. In her case it was a d-link wireless that was the issue.

There was a pretty good thread on this a while back that listed a bunch of troubleshooting steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nutzzer:
All,

This being my first pure android phone, I'm trying to figure out if I root this phone, in the future firmware release ie Verizon/Google 4.03, if there is an updated radio or kernel, Do I have to manually install the kernel and radio separately?

I remember my first android phone the Mytouch 4g, after awhile I forgot what radio I installed becuase it was done manually etc....and at the end, it became a pain in the butt.

Just wondering if I stay with unrooting and wait till Google release with update for my radio and kernel be easier.
